Are we well equipped to vote in a democracy?

We have no formal education on politics in schools. And yet we are all expected to take part in it and make decisions about our future with it.

DEMOCRACY, as we understand it in Malaysia, means every eligible citizen can cast one vote for one person or party at the federal level and one vote at the state level. There is supposed to be another vote at the council level but we do not practise that, not since I became eligible to vote decades ago, anyway.
